Best Gourmet and Culinary Products for Baby Boomer Foodies

I’m a diehard foodie and a huge promoter of eating real food that will help us extend our longevity and quality of life. But, I’m also not into deprivation. Good food is meant to be enjoyed. I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite gourmet and culinary products for Baby Boomer foodies who love to eat, cook, stay nourished, and entertain.

My philosophy is to eat smart – That means consuming food that’s “clean” and not laden with junk. It’s important to avoid products that are packaged, processed and chemically enhanced. Even some food sold at health food stores are filled with junk.

The products and recommendations I’ve listed below are in congruence with my “eat smart” philosophy and some are honestly just because I love them.

I’ve included online services that are perfect for sending foodie gifts and others to help you improve your diet or allow you to eat well if you don’t like to cook.
